Keep going, sometime this misery will come to an end???

Yesterday we did get out and didn't see a soul. The last time we went local there were just too many people on the paths and it was uncomfortable. I'll post photos from yesterday.<br />How's your mother in FL?Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00992626996077874832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-58791635747321051742020-04-29T22:57:22.059-07:002020-04-29T22:57:22.059-07:00The days are strange with a groundhog feel to them...The days are strange with a groundhog feel to them. Daily walks are essential for our mental wellbeing so I am pleased we are allowed to go out for a daily walk, even if it is in an urban area, although keeping an appropriate distance from others is like playing a game of chess with pieces that keep moving.Fun60https://www.blogger.com/profile/08084441984556826917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-47304646460475415062020-04-29T19:34:46.226-07:002020-04-29T19:34:46.226-07:00That last quote is poignant.

So far so good, I'm taking each day as it comes and feeling like its a massive game of survivor in more ways than one. i would love,love, love to get out in the countryside though!

I've spent two mornings working on bunny lots, spent two afternoons mowing. Sure keeps your mind off the Covid 19. The flowers on those two shrubs are so unusual, and pretty. Aiden and hiw little dog are both cute! You take care.

I'm also concerned about those who have pre-existing mental problems, this can only make their illness worse. I was on the point of buying one of those folding bikes once, but then the railway company decided that it was OK to take ordinary bikes on the trains anyway. Take care and keep pedalling!John "By Stargoose And Hanglands"https://www.blogger.com/profile/00832873074550725579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-54216042119741375192020-04-29T05:11:58.513-07:002020-04-29T05:11:58.513-07:00Good on you going out and riding around in safe pl...Good on you going out and riding around in safe places.<br />Love those word at the bottom of your post.<br />Margaret Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074619859060647600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-37885503945876937862020-04-29T05:04:01.315-07:002020-04-29T05:04:01.315-07:00I remember riding a bike.

I am so grateful for where we live I can only imagine how difficult it must be for those living in large cities with no gardens.

We have space to enjoy, areas to walk where others don't congregate. Life in a small apartment in a city, with little or no access to the cleansing power of nature must be quite horrible.David M.
